Be ltliHOWn that 'I, J OI-IN P. WILLIAMS, a citizen of the United States, and resident of New -York, in the county'and State of New 'Yorlgjha've, invented certain new and useful Improvements .in Electrically-Pro- I tectedlloldersf forrPocket-Books and Similar Articles,Of-"Which-the following is a specification. 9

This invention relates to electrically-protected holders 'for pocketbooks, Wallets, or other valuables, and it hasparticular relation toan improved holder, \vhich is adapted to be carried in the pocketorother visecom veniently used andwhich will afl'ord'ieflec tive protection against the loss of valuables carried in pocketbooks,-wallets or theflike,

or other valuables carried by thexholder;- V viThe object of my invention is to provide a simple andim'pr'oved device of the cha,rac-,

ter above" set forth, whichgwill be conyen;

ient and effective in serviceand operation,

and \\'l1lCl11 affords efl'ctivej-protection against the loss of; pocketbooks or similar valuable articles, and against attack by pickpockets, by automatically giving an, alarm tothe'person carrying the device ifan at tempt is.}mad'e to remove the contents of the holder. A furtherobjectfof my invention is to "produce, a protective device of 7 this characteravhich will effectively; guard against an attack upon the holder itself by an attemptto cut into the wallsgor' parts thereof vith a metallic instrument,

by extensions or flange plates, 9+9, projecting upwardly fromthe end Walls of the base and slidably operating parallel to the end walls 3 of the body'l, the relative sliding movement being limited by pins, 10, projecting laterally from'thc sides 3 of the body 1 and operating in slots, '11, 'in the fiange plates 9. The normal relative position between the body 1 and 'base 8 is maintained by coiled springs, 12, contained within the base compartment and interposed between the bottom thereof and the bottom 4 of the body'l. These springs normally exert their tension to spreadthe bod-y 1 and bas'e;8 from each other with relation to their relatively slidable mounting, and within the base portion' 8 are mounted the main contacts of'the electricalcircuit by which the holder is elec trically protected. In the preferred construction, these contacts comprise an arm',1-L, projecting upwardly from the bottom of the base 8,'and an arm, 15, projecting downwardly from the bottom 4 of the body 1, these arms having oppositely projecting contact points, as at 16, which will come together, to complete the circuit, when the body 1 and base 8 areattheir'farthest point of relative extension under action of the springs 12'.

From the foregoing description, it will be understood that, when the'holder is placed in the pocket or any other desired operative position with the base portion 8 underlying the body portion 1, thearms 14 and 15 will be in operative contact under action of the springs 12 'toforce the relatively slidable body land base 8 from each other. Then, when the pocketbook or wallet is inserted in theholder it acts by gravity. against the tension of the springs 12 and causes the sliding action of the'base 8 and body 1 toward each other, thus carrying thecontactarms 14 and 15 fromjcontactand holding the circuit open at that point. 'This open con tact will be maintained, under the gravity conditions just described, so long as the I. Wallet or otherarticle remains in'the holder,

but upon the removal or withdrawal'of the wallet from'the holder the gravity pressure thereon is released and the'springs 12' operate to press the relatively sl'idable base 8 and body 1 apart and thus bring the contact arms l l and 15 togethe d close the circuit at that point r j I To protect the holder against an attempt to cut into the walls thereof witha metallic instrument, the casing 1 is in the preferred construction provided with a lining consisting 'oft'wo' metallic plates, 1 7]and 18, re-

'spectiv ely,"'(or a; siii-table'arrangem'ent ;of

wires or conductors corresponding to such plates) ,W'hichare separated by "ail-insulation, such as'a fiber-sheet, 19, andare respecti-vely' in "connection-With the electrical "1 s-reactive base portion 8 being preferably constituted circuithof the holder at opposite polarities thereof. Thus, an attempt to penetrate or cut the casing of the holder with a metallic instrument at any point protected by the lining construction just described, will close the circuit across the insulated lining plates and thr ough the metallic instrument and cause the actuation of the alarm.

Included also in the protective circuit is a controlling switch, as at 20, which, in the preferred construction herein shown, is located at a convenient pointupon the casing 1 and manually operative exteriorly thereof.

This switch may be'of any suitable or adapt- 7 ed construction, and may be of atype adapted to be key locked if'desire'd; The controlling switch is normally closed, and thus under normal conditions does not affect the completion' of the protective circuit in its contacts 14: and 15 'by' action of the springs 12. It will be understood that this nor- I mally-closed controlling switch for governing the action of thecircuit may be located at any convenient or desired point of the device or mechanism. is 1 r V The battery source of electrical energy for the protective circuit, andthe alarm mechanism, may be conveniently'located as desired with relation tothe holder. In the embodiment of my invention under conditions in which a compactronstruction is desired, involving a single holder device adapted to ,be carried 1n 1ts entirety in one pocket or'otherwise conveniently used, the

battery, as at 21, and the alarm device, as at 22 (which in the present instanceis shown as an electro-magnetic bell or buzzer), are preferably located in the bottom compartment or'base portion 8, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4. I have also shown in Fig. 1 another embodiment of the arrangementof the battery andv alarm device, under different conditions of desired use, in which'the battery, as at 23, and alarm device, as at 24. arellocated in a separate casing or holder, 25, adapted to be carried in the vest-pocket or other location separate from the main holder 1 and connected therewith by a suitable chain or cable including conductors in the protective circuit. The separate casing'25 is preferably of small and convenient size, simi-. nrtoa watch case, and. may beo'f anysuit able contour, and it may also be protected by a hmng'arrangement In clrcuitand similar to that before described with reference to the casing 1,-to protect said small separate cas-- ing against an attempt to pun'cture-or cut into the same wlth a metallic-instrument.

The connection between the separate casing 25 and the main holder maybe of any adapted flexible character providing the circuit connections, but in thepreferred construc-' tion herein shown it consists of a chain or cable, 26, in which are interwoven two conducting wires, 27 and 28, suitably insulated and respectively in connectionwith'opposite polarities of the battery source." Under these conditions of construction the connection between the separate casing'25 and the main holder is protected against an attempt to cut through the same with a metallic instruy ment, as such an'attack would close thecirtothe leather or flexible body or housed therein to form the circuit connections. It will'also be understood that the improved holder constituting my invention is not essentially limited to uses in which itis carrie'd in the pocket, but that it will under other and various conditions of use,'such as when placed or retained in operativeposition at any desired location, serve as an ef fective electrically-protected device for containing pocketbooks or wallets or other articles of value which by gravity action will retain the main contacts 14 and 15 open while such articles remain in the holder.

I will now proceed to describe the circuit connections as shown in the' dia'grajmmatic illustration in the drawingsfunder which the device is electrically operative to actuate the alarm" in case of. withdrawal or removal of the contentsof the holder or an attack upon thedevice by puncture or cutting' Then the pocketbookor walletfor other val-' uable article is'placeid in the casing 1 and 'pressed'down into place,the gravity'action against the tension of the springs 12 causes the casing 1 and base portion 8 tomove tog wardeach other in their relatively slidable mounting and the main contacts 14, and 15- are correspondingly moved from each other and the protective circuit is retained openat that point. It "may be here"mentioned, that,f in the practical use of the device, the'nor f mally-closed switch 20 is'a'djusted to ope position when the device is n'ot-iinuse- 01 when the main'cont actsl kand '15 are closed under conditions atother times than ,When

it' is desired to actuate the alarln, thus retalnlng the circuit open at sa1d switch; but,

after the pocketbookor fcther article 1s placed in the holder and thecontactsf'l l and p 15 are'then opened, the switch 20is brought to its normally-closed position, to close the circuitat the switch and enable the operatloir of the circuit under conditions involvingthe" withdrawal of the pocketbook or article by'puncturingor cutting. v

from the holder oran attack upon thedevice *VVith the holder in the positioniillustrated m na e land 3, under thel in whichrthe 'battery- 23 l l' device are located withi'nythe separatewasing 25,

and the :main contacts a 14 and 15 1 are: open under the gravity action ofthe pocketbook orarticlewithin the holder, the circuit connections are aS fOllOWS: The lining conductorplate17 is'in electrical connection with the'main Contact 15, and tromsaid-plate the wire conductor 27=of the chain or cable 26 extends toone sideoft-he battery ,23 within the separate casing 25, and from the other side of said battery the wire conductor 28'of the chain or cable 26 extends to one side of the-alarm device 24:within the separatecas- 1ngf25 and across sa1d alarmdeviceand from the other sidethereof to one side of the"normally-closed controlling switch 20. From the otherside of said switch a conductingwwire, 29, extends'to the mainscontact 14C, and from said conductor 29 a branch conductingwire', 30, extends to the lining conductor plate 18, the conductor 29'beingf 1 thus in electrical plate 18'. I i

The operationof the circuit above 'de-" scribed, upon removal ot-the pocketbook'or' other article-fromthe casing 1, causing'the main contacts 14 and, 15 to close'underac-= tion of the springs'12,"will actuate the alarm through the "completed circuit as: 'follows from one side of the battery 23 through the conductor 27 and the lining conductor plate 17 to the main contact 15 and across-theclosed contacts 15 and' '14 and'through1the conductor 29 to the normally-closed control ling switch 20 and through-the conductor 28 to andacross the alarm 'de'vice'2 andrtothe other'side of the battery 23." 7-1 The operation of said abovedescribed circuit, in case of an'attackby an attempt topuncture or' cut through the'lining plates '17 and-18 with a'metallic instrument, with the" main contacts 14: and 15' remaining open, will actuate the alarm through the coin-- pleted circuit as follows: From one side'of' the battery 23through the conductor-27 "to the lining conductor J plate; 17 and "across through the metallic instrument to the lin mg conductor plate- 18 'and through the con ductor '30 andcondu'ctor 29 to and me the; 13,0

connection with said liningnormally-closed controlling switch 20 and through the conductor 28 to and across the alarm device 24 and to the other side of the battery 23. I i

In the event of an attempt to cut through the chain or cable 26 and its conducting Wires 27 and 28 with a metallic instrument, the circuit above described will actuate the alarm through the completed circuit as follows: From one side of the battery 23 through the conductor 27 and across through the metallic, instrument to the conductor 28 and through said conductor 28 to and across the alarm device 24 and to the opposite side of the battery 23., It will be understood that under some conditions of an attempt to cut through the chain or cable 26 the conductors 27 and 28 will be brought together and thuscomplete the circuit without the intermediate'agency of a metallic instrument orv if the metallic instrument is removed from contact therewith, and the same conditions would be true with reference to the lining conductor plates 17 and 18 if they were brought together under a puncturing or cutting attack to complete the circuit without the intermediate agency of a metallic instrument.

The circuit connections as shown in the diagrammatic illustration in the drawings, with the holder in the position illustrated in Fig. 3, under the conditions of the compact construction in which the battery 21 and alarm device 22 are located withinthe bottom compartment 8 of the holder in lieu of the location of the battery and alarm device in a separate casing having a flexible conducting connection with the holder, are

as follows: The lining conductor plate 17 is in electrical connection with the main contact 15 and in connection with one side of the'battery 21 by a conductor, 31, and from the other side of said battery a-conducting wire, 32, extends to and across the alarm .device 22 and to conductor 29 which is in con nection with the main contact 14, said conductor 29 being in connection through con= ductor 30 with the lining conductor plate 18.

Under the construction and circuit connecticns as just described, upon the operation of the device to close the main contacts 14 and 15, the alarm will be actuated by the completed circuit as follows: from one side of the battery 21through the conductor 31 and lining conductor plate 17 to the contact 15'and across the contacts 15 and 14 and through the conductor 29 and conductor 32 to and across the alarm device 22 and to the other side of the battery 21. In the event of an attack by puncturing or cutting the lining plates 17 and 18 which will bring saidplates togetheror in electrical connection',,,said circuit to actuate the alarm willbe completed as follows: from one side of" the; battery21: through\ .the.concluetor ;tQ.-

the lining conductor plate i17-and: acrossthe conductor plates 17 and 18 andthroughthe conductor 30 and conductors 29 and 32 to and across the alarm' device 22 and to the other side ofthe battery 21. Suitable electrio connection of the circuit including the battery 21 and alarm device .22 may be made with the normally-closed controlling switch 20, to enable operation of said switch to open and close the circuitas desired; which connection may be such thatrthe circuitconnection through the conductor 32 will be intercepted by the switch, as will be readily, understood. r

I do not restrict myself to any special con-- ditions of circuit'arrangement or circuit connections, as it is manifest that these may be varied, under the usual well-kn0wn application of electrical circuits or circuit connections, to suit the preferred conditions of use of the device.

In the diagrammatic illustration of circuit arrangements as shownin Fig. 3, the

. would be operated by the gravity action "of the bodyv 'of the holder or by the puncturing of the walls thereof, when this'sep'arate alarm embodiment of my invention isemployed. It will be understood that it is not generally intended that the two embodiments, one of the type in which the alarm mechanism is contained and inclosed within thebase portion 8 of the main holder 1 and the other type in wh ch the alarm mechanism is contained in the separate casing or holder 25, are to be conjointly employed. For instance, in the type in which the battery 21 and alarm 22 is carried in the base'S of the main 'holder 1, the supplementary pocket casing 25 with its batterv23'and' alarm 24 would not usually be employed, and inversely when the separate pocliet holder type 25 is employed it would not be neces-' sary to have the jother'tvpe of 'alarm mecha-. nism inclusive of the battery 21'and alarm 22 in the base of the main holder 1. Thus,-

in the diagrammatic illustration of circuit arrangements in Fig. 3, as will be readily understood, if the main conductors 27 and 29 of the supplementary type of alarm mechanism 25 are not connected with the circuit conditions of the main "holder 1,; at

the pointsi n'dicated by the dotted lines'con tinuingthese conductors, the main device vWe de b op ra ive-ripen. the ircui .in llrl g 45 sional means, said tensional means being were ing the battery: 21 and alarm 22 in the base 8 015 the main holder 1;: B utt'if the supple-j mentary alarm device 25 were employed" the type of alarm mechanism in the base 8 of the holder 1 "inclusive of 'tl1e" battery 21 and alarm 22 would not be'essential to the pro-' tectivefseryice and would be cut out, and then the connection of the main conductors 27 and29 of the circuit ofthe supplemem ta'ry'alarm-device 25inclusive of the battery 23 and alarm 24 Wouldbe connected with th circuit arrangements of the main holder forming an extension of and slidablyjcarrying said casing so vthat the casingand extension basemove one upon the other, an alarm" means, and means ivhereby'thewith draival of the article from the casing will permit the slidable movement thereof and thereby cause the actuation of the'alarm'.
